History is an essential teacher. Dr. Tisby shares remarakable stories of African Americans who have worked for justice in America in difficult circumstance. I find encouragement and hope in reading the stories. I've long admired Dr. Tisby and am grateful to learn about the actions of the incredible people featured in his book who work for justice in big and small ways that have had lasting impact. There lessons we can all learn.
